| Sadie (formerly known as Abby)
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Danielle and Michael. Sadie is an absolute joy to our family and evryone who comes in contact with her. She is wonderful with our grandchildren who love her to pieces. Danielle kept us up to date on the progress of Sadie and the rest of the litter from day one, providing pictures, info, etc. She also invited us to come for a visit before the pups were ready to leave and we met the parents of the pups. I honestly don't know where she finds the time, but Sadie is quite social, well-behaved (as much as a puppy can be at 9 weeks)and very intelligent. Thank you Danielle for everything! |

| WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
It's been 6 months since we bought our Sheltie and she is still a happy, healthy, beautiful puppy. Abby integrated well with our other pets (a dog, cat, parrot & bunny). Our experience with Danielle was wonderful. She allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted the day we chose her from the litter. She sent us pictures each week and kept us informed as to her development. When it was time to take Abby home, Danielle provided all paperwork, etc. neatly in a folder and so generously even gave us food, bowls, leash & toys. I highly recommend Fairview. |

| Our New Puppy
My wife and I made the trip from South Jersey to Quakertown to get our new puppy and it was well worth the trip. We are so happy with our beautiful boy, Cody. He is a joy to have in our home. He was very well taken care of by Danielle and Michael. He is well socialized and everyone who meets him falls in love immediately. I can highly recommend the breeders. |

| A+++ Experience
From day one, dealing with Danielle and Mike was a spectacular experience! We brought Sammy home last Saturday and we are in love. He is the sweetest, most lovable little guy. Danielle and Mike are very knowledgeable about the breed and took the time to answer all of our questions. They also sent regular updates and pictures. If you are looking to buy a Sheltie do not hesitate to buy from Fairview Shelties.They are terrific! |

| Amazing breeder - so easy to work with!
I recently bought a Sheltie puppy from Fairview Shelties and I am so happy with my little girl! April has the warmest personality and has brought so much joy to our home. The breeder was responsive in answering all of my questions and was very helpful throughtout the process! I will be passing on the breeders info to anyone who is interested in purchasing a puppy but no recommendation could do justice - I had such a wonderful experience. |

| Beautiful, Lovable, Shelties
This breeder is wonderful. I feel lucky to have fallen upon finding them. From the time we placed our deposit on our puppy until the day we went to pick her up we were updated with pictures and progress notes continually. We looked forward to that as we loved to share them with family and friends. We felt as though we knew our puppy before we actually met her. I cannot say enough good things about this breeder. If you are in search of a healthy, happy sheltie, this is where you will find the one you are looking for. |

| Nice caring sheltie breeders
I just purchased a Sheltie as a pet for Christmas and he is doing well. Danielle was a very thorough and caring breeder of shelties. I would recommend her puppies to anyone who wants one of these wonderfully energentic dogs. I simply love this breed as they are so smart and great with children. |

| Sheltie Heaven
I purchased our puppy from this breeder last spring. I was very impressed with the the site. As a previous sheltie owner and lover of the breed, I thought I was in "Sheltie Heaven"! It was a lot of fun to see all the shelties and how they interacted with each other, including her mother and father. Our puppy had a very easy transition into our home which consisted of one 18 month old sheltie, three older cats, and multiple humans of various ages. I contribute that easy transition to the fact that our puppy was so well socialized at the breeders. Our puppy has grown into a beautiful, intelligent, and wonderful companion. Our experience with this breeder was 100% positive! I highly recommend this breeder. |

| 2007 Purchase
I purchased my male puppy in April 2007. I visited Penfield when he was about 4 weeks. My main reason for visiting was to meet his parents and to see where he was raised. The puppies were kept together in a crate indoors. The area they lived in was kept clean and as stated they were socialized with other puppies and cats too. I was able to meet both parents and interact with them. Danielle sent updates and pictures regularly. I was able to pick him up at around 8 weeks. My questions by email or phone were always returned within 24 hours. All of the things stated in the ad along with some helpful literature about the breed and his vet records were provided. Also provided were a receipt and written guarantee upon purchase with the conditions clearly stated. Penfield has a wonderful personality, is fantastic with other animals and with children. I really couldn't ask for a better disposition. He is smart, healthy, and has a soft shiny coat. I am so happy to have him in my life. |

| Great seller!
We recently bought our puppy from this seller and received a wonderful pet. Our puppy was well socialized and very friendly, both to people and other animals. We enjoyed working with this seller and would galdly buy another puppy from them! We would highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for a beautiful, loving, and happy sheltie. |

| Toby - now known as Abner is adjusting very well.
From his first day at home he's been quite taken by
Gladys and it has been about a week and a half now
that she has shared that interest.Their relationship
is growing and changing on a near daily basis. They
now spend hours a day playing together - a very
welcome change from her showing little to no interest
in play. It was expected but the change is quite
welcome.
He is all done with his shot series and we are
venturing from wee pad training to outdoor training -
this too will be a long road I am sure, but at least
the transition has begun - I am sure this will improve
the relationship between Gladys and Abner.
Also -I would be glad to be a refernce if you should
need it. I am quite pleased with my new puppy and
would be more than glad to share that with people who
are entertaining the idea of adopting a pup from you.

| 2007- Lola Purchase. Danielle and Michael, Lola is doing well. She is getting bigger everyday and so smart. She really was easy to train by 3 months she already knew how to sit, go down, give paw and most important was house trained. She still bites while we play, but she has gotten a lot better and we are working on it everyday. Tomorrow she will be going to get spayed before her first heat. Other than that she is a joy and we love her so much. Thanks again for a beautiful sheltie. |

| Update on Abby: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Willow is doing great! She is soooo smart (no surprise). She hasn't had an accident once. We put her in her crate to sleep, then take her outside and she usually goes immediately. Then we bring her in the house and she plays for a while and then goes down for another nap. Sounds like a baby to me. She has been introduced to the other dog and the cat. The cat could care less, didn't hiss or anything. The dog just sniffed her and was curious, but there was no growling or anything. So we are confident they'll become fast friends. My husband took them both out in the yard a while ago and played with them. He put Willow down a little and then would pick her up, etc. So she's getting used to the yard, which she loves. I thank you for sending her home with all the goodies that you did. You are very generous. I can tell you take good care of your dogs and will definitely recommend you. Please let me know if anyone asks for any references and I will be glad to talk to them. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday. |

| Danielle, I just want to say Blaise (that's what I named my beautiful puppy) is the most precious thing ever. She is so smart and well behaved (although she is still a puppy!). She is so full of energy and was very easy to train. She loves people, other dogs and my cat Mia is Momma Kitty to her. She is an absolute blessing. I look forward to coming home every night after work just to see my little one. The first month I had her she came to work with me every day. All of my clients and co-workers love her almost as much as I do. She is about 21 pounds now but still of tiny build, just as I wanted. She is dainty and petite. Her markings are also just perfect, although most of her blaze is gone. It is kind of a shame since she was named because of her blaze, which is what made me pick her over her littermates. Another amazing thing about her is that she doesn't bark. When she has something to say it is 1 bark and she is done. I am not saying that it wasn't hard work, but I told you she was smart. All in all, I am extremely happy with the puppy I purchased from you and want to thank you for bringing her to me. I cannot imagine not having her in my life. In the short 7 months we have been together it feels to me like we have always been together. I have attached a couple of pictures for you to see how beautiful and happy Blaise is. |

| 2007- Junior purchase. Well, this is our last email just to let you know Junior is adapting very well and we would like to thank you for the new addition to our family!!! It was a pleasure working with you and you exceeded our expectations with this whole process, thanks again and good luck to you with the rest of the pups. December Update: Just wanted to take a minute to let you know how Junior is doing as you can see he is getting big and is a great addition to the family we couldnt have asked for a better puppy he fits in just right and the kids love him. His stocking is hung and I think he has been good enough to get a little something from Santa. Hope your holidays are great and Merry Christmas! |

| Update on Cody: Hi Danielle and Michael: Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. We are so happy with our puppy. We have your Rusty which we renamed Cody. He is the best dog ever. Not only is he beautiful and well-behaved, he is playful, loves children, adults and other dogs. He is a joy to have in our lives. I swear he understands everything. He loves to take long walks with my friend Anita and her dog, Blaze. He loves playing fetch with his tennis ball and frisbee. He plays basketball with my son, no lie, he dribbles the ball. He also "goes long" when the boys are throwing the football. He is my constant companion. There is no better dog in the world than a sheltie. So I'm biased. Rest assured that Cody is beautiful and happy. |

| Update on Sammy Danielle and Mike, Sammy is doing great!!!! We just had family portraits done and of course we had to bring Sammy along. Here is a picture of Sammy and Tommy, our 8 year-old. Sammy is a wonderful dog and he is a great companion dog for our youngest child, Gianna, who is special needs. He follows her everywhere. Sammy was completely trained within 3 weeks of bringing him home. He is so cuddly, sweet and very smart. We are so happy he is part of our family. Thanks Again! |

| Hello Danielle, Copper (Colby) is doing TREMENDOUS! He is one happy lil puppy and adjusted to the family fantastically. He is growing like a weed and very healthy, not to mention absolutely gorgeous. Copper is one playful lil guy ( I call him the Dennis the Menace of the puppy world) and craves constant attention which we all have no problem giving him. He is crate trained, house broken and very intelligent. We could not have dreamed of owning a better dog than him. I am attaching 2 pictures I took of Copper last night for you to see him and how much he has grown into a gorgeous lil Sheltie. Enjoy the pictures and even post them & this mail on your site if you wish Danielle so others can enjoy him also. Have a great day and it is always a pleasure to hear from you. |

| Dear Danielle and Michael, Bentley is doing very well. He is 100% trained and is the most adorable puppy we have ever seen. He is energetic and although we exercise him regularly he hardly ever gets tired. We love him and spoil him constantly. I have told my children many times, that Bentley looks exactly like his mother Katie. We couldn't be happier with him and I thank my husband all the time for fiinding your website. P.S. Bentley's ears have tipped almost perfectly. Mario has come up with a great solution. Japanese surgical tape on the very tip of his ears. Works great and bentley doest't even notice it. Take care and keep in touch. |

| Update on Lucy: Danielle, Everything is going very well with Lucy (April). We absolutely lover her and couldnt be happier! Lucy is 15 lbs and the vet said she'll probably gain about 3 more. She has been fixed, is up-to-date on all her shots and has had no health problems. She was very easy to train and still enjoys learning new things...we found the positive reinforcement was huge with her training. Lucy has a very funny personality...she loves everyone and is very sweet but sassy, too! We take her everywhere with us - wether its a short trip or a 6 hour trip to beach, she comes along. She is beautiful! Again, thank you for all of your help. We have had such an amazing experience with you and your family - Lucy is joy and we are thrilled to have her. |

| Update on Lola: Hi Danielle and Michael, This is Lola. I bought her from you in April of 2007. My name is Lisa and from New Jersey. Lola is doing great she is so smart and full of energy. She is now 19 months old and such a joy. She is loyal and very outgoing. She loves other dogs especially my sister(cocker spaniel). Next week Lola will be doing a walk with animals for cancer and have to dress her in a costume, I am not to sure how that will work she doesn't like anything on her but I will give it a shot. Otherwise, Lola is a joy to both me and my husband who isn't a big animal fan but with Lola he is changing his outlook on animals he absolutely loves her as well as I do. Thanks again for a beautiful Sheltie and hopefully if I can convince my husband we would be getting another (fingers crossed) I will keep you in mind. By the way your son is beautiful. Lisa |

| Update on Lexi: Michael & Danielle, Lexi is doing great, she is full of energy and very playful. Between her and my daughter we have our hands full. I have taken Lexi for her rehular check-ups at the Vet and all of her shots are up to date. Lexi is a very smart dog she is well trained. I house broke Lexi in about 2 weeks from the date we got her and she is at the point now where I can leave her crate open at night and she knows that is where she sleeps. She will come get me in the morning when it is time to go out and she goes right to the door to let us know. She is in perfect health. I would like to thank you both again for such a wonderful dog. |

| Update on Brother and Sister Puppies Hi there, Yes time really flies by, I can't believe that the Pups Sonny & Tina are 1 yr old (today 9-4-08). They are both beautiful, loving and affectionate and have their own personality's. Sonny is just a lovable bundle of joy and very easy going he's like a Teddy Bear; Tina thinks she rules the roost she is a bundle of energy and can't sit still. They both think their lap dogs and I just love the attention they give me. They have a very large yard to play in and have full run of the house when we are home. They fill my heart with joy!! I hope you are both doing well and enjoying your little bundle of joy! Bye for now!! |

| Update on Penfield: Hi Danielle! Penfield is doing fantastic! He is 34 pounds now, with not an ounce of fat on him. He runs a lot and has become very muscular. His personality hasn't changed a bit. He's still so playful and very silly. He's learning how to walk in the park a little bit better. He was really pulling so I got him a gentle leader and he does much better with that! His favorite activities are still chasing squirrels and horses and of course frisbee catching. I'm going to try to send you a video of him. I'm not sure what he's doing on it because it's been a while since I took it. If I can't email it I'll post it and send you the link. We're still staying with my parents so he has 2 other shelties to run around with. He is the happiest thing in the world, smiles all the time, and is just delightful. As I said before, I can't imagine how I ever got along without him!! ventually I want to get him a brother....probably not this year, but maybe next year when we have our own place. :-) Here are just a couple of recent pictures...one of all of us laying on my new hammock (on the floor). Penfield is the one closest to me, in case you don't recognize him. He still has his floppy right ear which I LOVE. The other pic is just of him being silly. He loves to plop down on the floor and flip over to get your attention! Then I attached a couple bath pictures that were cute. I'll have a ton more pictures with the holidays coming up and I will definitely make sure you get some. I may not get the video out today but definitely this week. Aiden looks adorable. You guys must be SO BUSY!! Take care and keep in touch! Love, Sarah and Penfield |

| Update on Junior: Hello Danielle, Sorry it took so long to get back to you, it has been pretty busy here with the new school year. This picture was taken today in the backyard and as you can see Jr. is doing great. Again we cant thank you enough for Jr. I could not imagine having a better friend, he comes right up to the kids and I with his toys and just wants to have fun. We really enjoy looking at all the pictures you send us with the newest member of your family and we wish you all the best. We will definitely send you pictures more often so you can see how Jr. is doing. Thanks for everything and have a great Holiday!!! |

| Update on Roxy (formerly Noelle): We were trying to decide between the names Holly and Roxy but the kids love Roxy so that's what we have been calling her. She is a great little puppy. Very friendly and social. Our cat absolutely adores her, he pretty much lets her do whatever she wants to him and he just sits back and takes it or licks her. My mom has 3 dogs, one is very playful, shes 10 years old but acts like a puppy so she is loving it! They run around the yard together acting crazy. The kids have been having a blast with her too. My son still thanks me every day for the puppy! She is doing very well with her potty training. She goes mainly outside with maybe one or two little accidents during the day which is usually in the middle of playing. We are working on the biting and mouth play now which is a little difficult. Its funny how much puppies are like babies. Everything goes right in the mouth lol . She has learned sit and lie down and she automatically sits now when she sees the treats lol . She is awesome, we absolutely love her! Ive attached a few pics too. We will stay in touch as she grows! Thank you!!! |

| Update on Rufus & Rosie: Hi Danielle (and Mike too)! Well, it's been quite a blast! Lucky is now "Rufus" and Hope is now "Rosie". We keep their home base in the playpen, but they are really enjoying a big yard area and in the house, we keep them gated in the kitchen, dining room, livingroom area. We put them in the crate at night. Maxie and Sparky the cat are not totally comfortable with them yet, but it's much better now. Rosie and Rufus run and play, creating mayhem in their wake. They talk so much! Rufus loves to give us many kisses and Rosie is our new hairdresser! They have adjusted very well and seem to be very happy and playful! We will be going to the beach next weekend. They cry when they want to go out or when they are hungry. Rufus likes to pull Rosie around by the tail - ouch! They are so cool to watch, but we get tired just watching too, LOLOL!!! We are really enjoying them alot! hey are both sleeping now, they have toys to play with - they really like the rope toys and the socks. They are doing very well with housebreaking too! Rosie is getting prettier by the day! We'll email you pics and updates as often as we can! Thanks again for giving us new joys! |

| Hi, Spoot is doing great.I thought she would take a while to settle in, but the first night she was playing with my mom's dogs and seemed comfortable. She knows her routine now, and follows me everywhere! She goes to work with me every day and sleeps in her crate while I work.If it is nice out I put her in her playpen outside. She is half way to potty trained and most of the time will let me know when she needs to go out. She is learning simple things like sit and come, and some agility things like the tunnel and weave poles. I won't let her jump until she is older. The high things are off limits until her balance is better. She is a tough puppy, when she gets knocked into by the bigger dogs she gets right back up and off she goes. She likes to chew, but so far has been good about chewing "her" things. I have to watch her though, those puppy teeth are sharp! She was suspicious of strange people at first, but has seen so many new people she is getting over it. She is a wonderful puppy, I am glad we got her from you. I'll keep you updated on her as she grows up. Did everyone get picked up? When the puppies are gone your house will seem too quiet! Take care! |

| Danielle, Lucy is doing really well. We actually took her to a trainer for an evaluation, just to see if it would benefit her to be professionally trained and the trainer said 'dont waste your time, or money.' We paid for the session and a few tips on how to get her to stop jumping on visitors, but the trainer said it wasnt worth getting her trained, she knows too much already and picks up on things so quickly that anything we need to teach her could be done on our own. Danny and I were really excited about that! My mom swears she too smart...she learned how to jump onto my parents bed, it's about 4 1/2 feet from the floor. My mom found her the other day, under her covers with a $20 bill in her mouth. She had taken the money out of my mom's purse, but didnt tear it apart, just had it resting in her mouth! I hope all is well with you! I'm sure your little boy is growing like a weed. |

| Hi Danielle! Just thought we'd drop a quick line to let you know how the little guy is doing. He's adjusting very well. He has been eating (slowly) and drinking fine. We gate him in the kitchen with his food, (and one of us!) so he has access to it, and Layla can't get to it when it's on the floor. He slept through the night! (from about 10:00pm to 5:30 or so). We moved his crate into our bedroom at night so we could hear him. Steph slept lightly, on "baby alert". Layla has handled this very well, and is probably wondering when he's going to leave. She's acting like a typical big sister with a new baby home. he's being nice, but somewhat reserved. Jazz, however, is completely clueless and happy! We are having so much fun watching his puppy-movements, and will call the Vet tomorrow to set up his next appointment. Hope you're doing well. |

| This is our great Bella story: Monday, Odette took Bella to the veterinarian and got a clean bill of health without a problem. She purchased a roomy kennel and immediately started working on getting Bella accustomed to it. I made arrangements with Continental Airlines for a Wednesday flight, as they fly direct from Newark (closest to Odette’s) to San Juan. I had done all the research and asked all the questions until I was convinced that Continental was a safe way to bring Bella home, and that’s exactly how it turned out. Odette told me that it was an easy and worry-free process on her end, and that she only had to show up there one hour before take-off. On my end, the experience was even easier: Literally, I had Bella in my arms about 20 minutes after the plane landed. The Continental Airlines service was EXCELENT, as it took them no time to deliver the kennel. I could swear that they had the dogs (there was another one on the flight) in the pickup area before they unloaded the first passenger bag. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to somebody else. Anyways, Bella seemed to be in perfect shape and spirits when I first let her out the kennel. It didn’t seem that she had gone through any type of traumatic experience or anything, so I was very pleased. As soon as I got in the car, my wife and kids called me to pressure me to get home quickly. They just couldn’t wait! We got home and I immediately confirmed that this was a perfect match. I even took pictures of my wife and kids with the puppy, thinking of sending you one (I will this week, when I sit down in front of my home computer; I promise). Since that day, we’ve been just tooooo busy making the necessary adjustments that a new dog owner needs to make: Proofing the house, making sure that there is no way to leave the backyard, setting up an area for Bella to crate, working on a feeding and pooping schedule, teaching her and the kids to deal with each other, etc. I guess you know how it all is. We certainly are very happy to finally have Bella down here, and can assure you that she seems to be very happy about it too. She loves to play with the children, going to the backyard, hang out with us, or simply lie and rest in the family room. Obviously, we are still learning and trying to figure out what to do about so many things but, little by little, we can see that this will be a rewarding process. She is so smart! My wife is taking her tomorrow to her first local veterinary visit, so as to get an initial interaction going. By coincidence, while she was working on selecting the right vet, she interacted with an assistant who could not say enough about how great shelties are (he owns one). This made my wife even more comfortable with our choice. Well, you will hear from us every so often, with a picture here or there. Obviously, we are very happy with Bella, and must thank you for having enough of an open mind and venturing to allow her to be brought to an atypical (for you) place. Like I told you, merely mentioning where I was from got other breeders to close the door on us without even asking a question. That’s what I found so ironic about the guild: Those who don’t want us to buy from a pet shop because of the purportedly evil places that supply them were practically forcing us to go there to begin with. Go figure… We hope that you are fine, and that this message has eased your worries. We’ll send some pictures, and stay in touch. Thank you so much again… |

| Update on Rufus & Rosie: Danielle and Mike, Hi. Well it has been six weeks since we got the puppies. They are growing like weeds. We had them to the vet on Thursday and Rosie weighs 9 lbs 9 oz and Rufus weighs 8 lbs 9 oz. They are really smart, especially Rufus, he is into everything and learns things quickly. Rosie is really sweet and is much calmer. Their legs are really getting long and gangly. Housebreaking is going really well. The only problem that we have is getting them to come in from outside, they love it out there and run around like maniacs. Rosie really has freckles on her front legs now. Their noses are getting wider and they have to grow into them, they bump them on corners a lot. Rufus is really vocal, and Rosie hardly barks at all. It is really funny how different they are. They know how to sit and to come, when they want to. They are starting to lose their baby fuzz and really have beautiful soft hair. The vet is really impressed with them and said we really got some good dogs. We told her all about you guys and she was impressed with the way you handle the dogs and puppies. Thank you so much for treating us so special. We really love these puppies and they are very happy. They have about a hundred toys and we play with them all the time. We took them to pet smart and some woman wanted to know if they were for sale. We both said very quickly and loud, NO! It is really funny, all the toys they have and they like an old rolled up sock. They run around with in both their mouths and play tug with it. As soon we figure out how to download pictures from our camera, we will send some to you. Have a great day! |

| Update on Holly: Holly, is doing great, she keeps getting bigger, and is so playful and outgoing, she hasn’t met a person she’s afraid of yet, and is getting along well with the other dogs in the neighborhood too! She’s almost fully house broken now too! I moved the divider back in the cage now, seems to be helping a lot. She doesn’t bark to go out yet, but she’ll come running up to you in the house, and walk around you a few times, then head for the exit, and look back at ya, with a look that says, I gots ta go! And then we just follow her to the back door, let her out, and she goes right away! You’ll have to come over and see her, she’s so cute, and she follows us everywhere. She was helping Karen pull weeds in the flower bed yesterday! |

| Update on Roxy: Hey there, I just wanted to give you an update on Roxy (Noelle). She is doing great!! She has learned so many tricks including sit, lay down, speak, quiet, roll over, high five, beg, stay, and probably more that i cant think of right now! She is pretty much fully potty trained, has maybe one or two accidents a week. We have her completely crate trained, she loves going in her crate and sleeps right through the night. She is awesome, we absolutely love her! She is a very happy and friendly girl. Here are some new pics taken the other day! The last pics are of her staying and waiting to be able to go get one of her favorite toys. |

| Update on Layla Faith: Hi Danielle, Michael & Aiden, Just a quick update to tell you about little Faith, who is now named Layla, with her middle name Faith. I don't want her to forget her roots. Anyway, she slept the entire trip to Virginia, over four hours, I was amazed. I think she was ready for a nap plus the movement of the car must have helped and she didn't get carsick at all. She has been such a good puppy; I am just so happy with her. We did get about five inches of snow Sunday night and we had a snow day at school on Monday so I got an extra day home with the baby. It was perfect. Is is unusually cold here, but will be warming up at the end of the week, so that will help with potty training. She is loving Toby (dachsund) and Sophie (yorkie) being here. She is so playful and just takes a flying leap and jumps on them; she especially likes Toby's long ears and tail. They are both used to living with a sibling so they don't mind at all, they are all having a great time. After playing awhile, they get tired and take a good nap, it is so cute. She is so well adjusted and just seems to fit right in. You were right, she hasn't had any problems at all so far. Sophie left yesterday and Toby will go home tomorrow, she'll probably miss the constant playmates. She slept through Friday, Sunday and Monday nights and got awake at 3:30 on Saturday night & went to potty outside. I think she will be easy to housebreak, once the snow is gone. I want to thank you so very much for my little girl. I love her so much and she will have a very good home. I know that heredity plays a huge part, but I can tell that you've done so much to help her along the way. She is just so sweet, good natured & feisty at the same time. I think she'll be a very confident little girl and will certainly be loved a lot. I will close for now, take care and thank you again, with all my heart. Diane & Layla |

| Hi, just wanted to send you an update on Spoot. She is doing great. Growing like a weed. I have so many people ask where I bought her because of her excellent temperament. Everyone at the vet could not believe how outgoing she is for her breed. She is very smart, (and spoiled!) She goes with me everywhere she can, and vacations with my mom's dogs if I have to be away. She will be starting her beginner agility soon, so I'll let you know how she likes it. She is doing great with obediance. Hope all is well, take care. |

| Hi Danielle and Michael, Thought you might like an update and see some pictures of Forest on his 1 year birthday! He an awesome dog, a talker, and head strong. He loves to play fetch and catch frisby and is my shadow. We walk/run between 2 and 4 miles almost daily. Oh, you can guess...he's spoiled. He gives double high-fives and is jumping through the hola hoop as well as doing most of the normal tricks. And he's so handsome! Hope everyone is well. I know Aiden just had his first birthday just a few weeks ago as well so I'm sure he is keeping you very busy. All the best. |

| Update on Layla Faith: Hi Danielle, Michael, and Aiden. Happy Belated Birthday to Aiden, I hope he had a great day! I just wanted to send you a couple pictures and give you an update on my sweet baby girl, Layla, previously known as Faith. She is already my best buddy, I just can't tell you how thankful I am to you for my wonderful puppy. She is both very sweet and stubborn at the same time. She loves playing with my daughters' little dogs, Sophie (yorkie) & Toby (mini dachsund); they are all a good size for playing with one another & have so much fun together. She is very smart little girl, which I'm sure most all your dogs are. She was completely housebroken by the end of four weeks and I think it would have been sooner if not for the awful weather. she does not like wet grass or freezing temperatures which were frequent during her first few weeks home. She is such a good girl, I'm just so proud of her and love her so much. (Am I being repetitive???!!) Her ears were tipped until her 4 month birthday and then it was like she decided that she was a big girl and wanted them to stand up, so they did. ha-ha. She got her final puppy shot last week and she now weighs 9lb.2oz., she is growing so fast, getting tall with long legs. She reminds me of a little fawn. Layla's vet says she is perfectly healthy and sees nothing to indicate that she has health problems due to the circumstances of her birth. I could just go on and on about Layla, but I'll stop here. I think you get the mental picture of my little lovey. I hope that many others that bought from your last three litters will send you real pictures, I want to see them as they grow up. All your dogs are beautiful and you should be very proud of yourself for all the tender loving care you gave them. You certainly nurtured them and gave them a fantastic start in life. I'll close for now, keep in touch and take care. Thanks again for everything. |
